BAYERN skipper Philipp Lahm is praying his side don’t pay the price for a host of missed chances when they make the trip to Turin next week.

Lahm’s side cruised to a 2-0 triumph against the Italian champions courtesy of a David Alaba goal and Thomas Mueller’s second-half tap in.

But the Germans had the chances to add to their tally last night and Lahm hopes those misses don’t come back to haunt them.

He said: “It was a good match by us, but we are not through yet.

“We had several good chances and the result could have been even bigger.

“Next week we will have to put in another performance like this to get through.”

The Germans grabbed the lead inside 25 seconds and, quite remarkably, it came from a mistake by the usually flawless Andrea Pirlo.

The midfielder misplaced a pass and the ball was shifted to Alaba who smashed it first time beyond Gigi Buffon from 25 yards via a touch off the heels of Juve star Arturo Vidal.

Pirlo was soon back to his usual self and almost made amends for his earlier error on the 15-minute mark but his 25-yard free-kick dipped the wrong side of the bar.

Arjen Robben had an effort brilliantly saved by Buffon and Bastian Schweinsteiger went close as the home side tried to cash in on more sloppy defending from Juve.

Bayern were gunning for a second goal before the break and after Robben went close again when he really should have scored, they had a penalty appeal turned down when Mario Mandzukic went down under a challenge from Giorgio Chiellini.

The home side started the second half much like the first and Alaba tried his luck from distance with a free kick but this time Buffon made an excellent stop.

The second goal looked to be on the cards and it duly arrived just after the hour through Mueller.

Luiz Gustavo’s dipping dig from distance proved too hot for Buffon to handle and after he palmed the ball out ?Mandzukic laid it on a plate for Mueller tap in.

Juve star Vidal did his best to hand his side a priceless away goal but Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer kept out his two late long-range drives.

Juventus stopper Chiellini said: “Bayern played at an incredible tempo and we struggled to keep possession. Next week we have to play like Bayern did today.”
